Step into the AngloSaxon world of King Alfred the Great in a lyrical retelling from a Carnegie Medalwinning author and Kate Greenaway Medalwinning former Childrens Laureate.Alfred the Great is one of the most iconic rulers in British history and the only one to be known as "Great". Not only did he mount a fierce resistance against Viking invaders, he was also a keen scholar and collector of stories. He welcomed travellers with a tale to his court, which brings in the intrepid sailor Wulfstan. Wulfstan dazzles Alfreds court with a story of shipwrecks, horseracing and a ruler buried in ice.Kevin CrossleyHolland has translated Wulfstans thrilling tale from the AngloSaxon into a rhythmic prose poem with lavish artwork by Chris Riddell.
